God has offered us mercy, but we still need to accept this incredible gift. As we learn in the Parable of the Unforgiving Servant, because God is merciful and has forgiven our debt of sin, which we could never pay, we must, in turn, be merciful toward others. Most people have faced situations where they struggle to let go of bitterness, anger, or resentment. Feeling if they forgive this person, then there are no consequences; they let this person ”off the hook.” It is only through God’s grace can we forgive one another and do so from the heart.
Adults: How often do you come to God for forgiveness, while your heart holds resentment for another?
Children: Is there someone in your life you need to forgive?
